This is odd.  I suspect that the problem might be in Qt.  However, you 
should check to see that X11 is doing this correctly.  In a Konsole, 
execute:

	xev

and then put the mouse cursor in the little window that opens.  Now when 
you type, it will report the X events in the Konsole window.  I tried it 
and it reports the key pad key events with the "KP_" prefix.  If this 
works on yours, then it is probably a Qt bug.
